Enrolling in a university: an important part of anyone’s life young man or girls.

When I worked at a university in the admissions office, I saw a girl with more than 300 Unified State Exam points. She sat in the admissions committee on August 7 and cried 10 minutes before the committee closed because she could not get her documents to take them to another university.

I saw a young man, also with high scores, who came to enroll because he didn’t get in last year... People think that it’s easy to get in with high scores, but this is not so.

All these pictures speak about one thing: to enter a university you need three things:

  • - pass the Unified State Examination high scores
  • - choose the right university
  • - submit documents correctly

After the Unified State Exam and the painful choice of an educational program at a university, it’s time to put your thoughts in order and mark on your calendar: when, what and where to take for admission.

For 2016–2017 academic year earned new order admission to universities. It applies to future bachelors, specialists, and masters: order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated October 14, 2015 No. 1147.

  • six 3x4 photographs;
  • medical certificate form 086-u (for full-time training);
  • portfolio: copies of diplomas, certificates, acknowledgments, letters of recommendation, etc.

Bachelor's degree

WITH June 20 All universities are already accepting documents for full-time and part-time programs. But the deadline for accepting documents depends on the enrollment entrance examinations. If for admission you do not need to pass any internal exams additional to the Unified State Exam, then the deadline for you to submit documents is - July 26.

If your program involves additional professional or creative tests, then beware of the date July 7. Universities may extend the date for collecting documents, but this must be checked with the university itself.

Let’s say you haven’t passed the Unified State Exam and to get admitted you have to apply through internal university exams (this could happen, for example, if an applicant is admitted after specialized secondary vocational education). In this case, make sure to submit the documents before July 10. The university may set a later date here too, so be sure to clarify the issue on your university’s website.

To July 26 must pass all internal and additional examinations, and thus this date marks the end of the first wave of admission.

The only deadline for master's programs that puts forward a new admission procedure is - August 10. The university cannot finish accepting documents before this date.

Deadlines for winners and prize-winners of Olympiads

You can enter a university without any exams at all. First of all, this concerns the winners of the All-Russian school competitions from a special list established by law. During the four years following the year of the Olympiad, the winner or prize-winner of the competition can submit their results to universities and apply for non-competitive admission.

The order gives clear instructions to universities to post information about enrollment deadlines no later than October 1 of the new academic year.

Each university has its own list!). Upon enrollment: original certificate, 6 photos, medical certificate form 086u. Each area of ​​bachelor's training has its own package of documents!

From June 1 (or another date established by the university) to July 26 (for those who apply only for the Unified State Exam). Until July 5 (10) (If you have additional entrance tests at the university itself (Find out specifically))
Date of submission of the original and application for consent to enrollment:

Applicant calendar 2016:

  • From May 25 to June 26- main period conducting the Unified State Exam. For more details, see the Unified State Exam 2016 schedule.
  • June 1- Universities publish their admission plan for 2016.
  • June 20- Reception of documents begins.
  • July 7- Completion of acceptance of documents from persons applying based on the results of entrance examinations. For specialties with creative tests, the deadline is several days earlier!
  • July 27- Posting lists of all applicants, ranked by scores, on university websites.

Advice: You need to look at how many budget places there are for the faculties you have chosen (they are called admission control figures - KCP). Please note that 10% of them can be given to beneficiaries (Olympiad winners, disabled people, target recipients, etc.), they are enrolled earlier than the main deadline. Then determine your place in the ranked list. Let's say there are 10 budget places at the faculty you have chosen, and you are in 10th place in the ranked list - that means you are definitely admitted. And if you are, say, in 12th grade, then there is still a chance of admission, but it depends on how many people with higher scores than you bring original certificates to the university before August 1st.

  • Until August 1- Universities accept originals of certificates and statements of consent for enrollment at stage I. At stage I, universities are required to identify and enroll applicants for 80% of the budget places. It is at this stage that the admissions committees of most universities call applicants who have a real chance of admission and ask them to quickly bring original certificates.

Advice: You need to choose one university where to take the original certificate. If you see that based on your Unified State Exam score you qualify for a budget place or have a slightly lower place, then you need to bring the original certificate to the university as quickly as possible and write a statement of consent to enrollment in order to get on the list of those admitted.

  • August 3- Issuance of orders for enrollment at stage I.

Advice: If you are not on the list of those enrolled, you can participate in Stage II of enrollment for the remaining 20% ​​of budget places. Using the same ranking lists, you determine which university you have the best chance of admission to. If you submitted the original to a university, which, as you now understand, there is no chance of enrolling in, then write an application for the return of the original certificate (the university is required by law to return the certificate within 2 hours).

  • August 6- Completion of acceptance of applications for consent to enrollment and original certificates for enrollment at stage II.

Advice: If you did not get into the chosen university based on the sum of points, you can try your luck again. But keep in mind that at this stage the competition in universities becomes tougher than at stage I - high-scoring students will come who did not qualify for admission to more prestigious universities.

  • August 8- Issuance of orders for enrollment at stage II.

Advice: If you didn’t get admission on a budget, you can try to get admission by paying tuition fees.

  • Until September 1- Deadlines for submitting documents and enrolling in places with payment of tuition fees are determined by the university independently; find out about them specifically at each university.

Advice: The number of paid places is also limited: those who have higher scores, submit a certificate and write an application for admission are admitted.
